Reconstruct the Gaza Envelope – Now
Kobi Michael
12 October, 2023
Read in

The rift is great, the damage is enormous, and the crisis of trust among the public, particularly the residents of the Gaza envelope, toward the state and the IDF, is deeper than ever. Trust is an essential pillar of national resilience. However, Israel's national resilience is now at a breaking point, and quick extrication from the current nadir and a return to functioning are preconditions for the restoration of Israeli societal resilience and success in the long run. Most of the residents of the envelope communities were evacuated or left their homes, the majority of which are in ruins. The glorious Gaza envelope community, which was a symbol of Israeli vitality, a hold on the land, and settlement along the border, has suffered a terrible blow. Beyond the fact that abandonment of the communities will score another significant achievement for Hamas, this will have far-reaching consequences for the public in Israel, for the settlement movement, and for the level of public trust in the country and its institutions.

Therefore, the Israeli government should, here and now, establish the Gaza Envelope Reconstruction Directorate. Led by a senior and qualified minister, this new body should mobilize all the state's resources concerning contractors and construction companies and proceed with the reconstruction of the envelope communities as quickly as possible, even in the midst of war. The reconstruction of the envelope communities will relay a message of action, restoration, recovery, and above all resilience and support for the Gaza envelope population, and will help restore trust in the state's institutions, in its commitment to its citizens and to the settlements, and above all in its ability to take substantive action. This would also convey a clear and determined message both to Hamas and to all those who manage to cultivate hope regarding the depth of the settlement's grip along the border and the ability of the State of Israel to recover quickly. This will inject a significant component of strength to national resilience as well as to the image of Israeli power and determination.
